I wanted to illustrate two things:
- a random visitor get to the page (following a link or whatever other 
means), with this mock-up his first reaction is "FTW if this Fedora 
thing?". The link "Why is Fedora 7 for me" is suboptimal because it a) 
answer a different question (why instead of what) and b) it require an 
additional click;
- http://www.google.com/search?q=fedora will display "The Fedora Project 
is a collection of projects sponsored by Red Hat, and developed as a 
partnership between the open source community and Red Hat engineers. 
..." under the link to the website. Google does not take this text from 
a meta tag, but from the text of the page. With the current mock-up, I 
don't know what Google will display, maybe "Copyright (c) 2003, 
2004,..." (as an alternative, Google can take the description from 
dmoz.org, but I am not sure under which circumstances).
